3 Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports

Maximum Ride is still here for her last book (supposedly). Here being loosely used. Max is taking some time out of her schedule to pursue saving the world, as her voice suggested. Maybe in between eluding the Erasers, getting food for the flock, Fang ("what is with him", she wonders), and staying alive, saving the world has a place.

Max's best offence/defence is her ability to get under the skin of her opponent. This composes of continually insulting them. Still swearing and hitting and/or kicking.

Max is devoted to her flock and cares about every single one of them, they are the most important thing to her. And they feel the same way.

Personally, I'm getting a little sick having to put up with Max's attitude. The first one was good and fun, the second was cool, this one just kinda loses it's self. If you are a die hard Max fan, there isn't really anything different to say about this one that isn't personal opinion. So enjoy it. It still made me laugh, but maybe next time I'll grab Artemis Fowl or Pendragon instead.

2 School's Out Forever

Maximum is back and kicking in the next book of this crazy series. Trying to keep the flock alive, clothed and feed are top on Max's list, but on somebody else's list the opposite is true. Mainly the keeping the flock alive.

Max and the flock are angry and ready to vent that anger at anyone in the way. But the people in the way are mainly erasers and other people from the school. The swearing stays moderate.

Max is still trying to do what's best for everyone else in her flock before herself. Is being funny a positive element?

If you have read the first one in this series your probably not reading this review because you are so busy read the book it is reviewing. But that's ok. If you thought the first one was worth reading, this is too.

1 The Angel Experiment

Max takes care of her friends; closer than brothers and sisters, the bonds they share cannot be broken. Max is the oldest and watches out for her friends, she would do anything to protect them. No little task when it seem everywhere they go they are tracked by the evil people they escaped from. When the youngest of Max's brood is stolen from her, they go to rescue her from the people who will do anything to get them all.
P.S. They have wings. They fly.

Max and her flock are full of anger at their oppressors. Round-house kicks fly (pun intended). They do quite an amount of swearing. They don't trust anyone, but that may be a good thing.

Max will do anything for her flock and it is reciprocated. She tries to be a good leader, but doesn't belittle everybody else's talents. Don't let the author fool you. When I first brought this book home my mom was incredulous. "James Patterson?!? Be careful." No, this isn't about gruesome murders, but flying kids.

I enjoyed reading these books, actually I like almost all the books that make me laugh. But some may think the trade off isn't worth it. That is your decision. The title is not deceiving, this ride is maximum.
